So come on out and enjoy some free cider while you listen to the music! Swing by the store and pick up some fresh jellies, jams or even a country ham! If you like the cider, make sure and pick some up to enjoy at home!



The Gross’ Orchard also has the Apple Valley Homeplace if you want a quite place to stay! The Homeplace is a 3 bedroom home surrounded by the orchards. You can sit on the front porch and just relax or you can hike through the peach and apple trees! The Apple Valley Country store is just around the bend!
